For the Love of Burlap!

I don't know when it began, but my love for burlap is strong and unyielding!

I love the rustic, country feel that home decor made from burlap creates. From pillows to party decor, burlap and a little bit of ink can go a long way. While browsing on etsy, I found so many cool pieces made from burlap. But even more, I found a lot of inspiration to create my own burlap home decor!

I thought I'd share them with you, so here are some of my favorite pieces of DIY with burlap inspiration:

This would be so easy to make. I'm thinking it could be as simple as wrapping a clothing box in the burlap and stenciling your initial on with acrylic paint.

I love burlap pillows. Sure, they aren't the most comfortable surface to lay your head on, but they're perfect as throws. And if you DIY, the possibilities are endless!

I've been in a major DIY mood lately, and these burlap finds just added to my list of things to create!
